That’s right! We got an
awesome Christmas gift! A concert at Copacabana beach for free! It started
around 8 pm with the Brazilian singer/songwriter Gilberto Gil. His daughter
sang a song or two during his performance.

Gilberto Gil sang a
lot of old tunes and approximately 500,000 happy people sang along with him. Despite the
heat, you could hardly walk around.

Around 10 pm, Stevie
Wonder got on stage and started talking to the audience. He played a lot of his
most well-known songs and even played the Girl From Ipanema on the harmonica.
That drove the audience crazy! He played the harmonica and the audience sang it
in Portuguese… That specific moment gave me goosebumps!!!

The song that most
people were waiting for was I just called to say I love you… I was a bit
disappointed when it was Gilberto Gil that started singing it… in Portuguese… I
am not a fan of the Portuguese version of the song, but after the first part of
the song it was Stevie Wonder singing and the crowd exploded in harmony,
cheering and singing along with him.
